I've been shopping for an AR for a while. Before I bought off gunbroker, I decided to give my local gun stores a shot. (no pun intended). I didn't go to everyone, but I did go to the ones specializing in AR's. I drove at least 80 miles round trip in the loop. Some were great people, but didn't have any AR's. One had an AR by a manufacturer I never heard of (Century?) Anyway, I had my mind set on a Colt. The last store said the next Colt he got would sell for $2000. I said I could buy one on Gunbroker for $1700. He basically said I was lying, and went in the back to his computer, only to return and admit he found some. (But wouldn't admit I was right). Before I left, I asked how much he would charge for an FFL transfer, and he told me, "If it's a gun I can get, I charge $100. If I can't get it I charge $50. I want you to buy from me"
So tonight I bought from Gunbroker.com. Don't tell me how I need to support my local dealer when they don't treat their customers better.
